- Support for Windows Server 2008 R2
- Flexible Recovery Pacing: Create, manage, and monitor pauses in your recovery project. This allows you to automatically suspend the recovery of one or more DCs. You can then manually resume the recovery of these DCs from the point where they were paused. This capability also enables a follow-the-sun approach to domain or forest recovery, allowing you to focus on the sites that require immediate attention first.
- Customizable Recovery: Incorporate customized facets of your recovery plan into the automated recovery prcess by configuring Recovery Manager for Active Directory Forest Edition to automatically run custom scripts before, during, or after a recovery.
- Real-Time Recovery Planning: Improve overall transparency of the recovery process. The plan is a detailed recovery process roadmap generated for the current recovery project. The plan provides an overview of every recovery stage and operation, thus allowing you to gain a better understanding and better control of every aspect of the forest or domain recovery operation.
- Automation of Manual Tasks: Using native tools to recover a domain or forest requires numerous and lengthy manual steps repeated on each domain controller. This process results in a very slow and tedious recovery that’s prone to human error. Forest Edition automates those numerous manual steps, not only saving vast amounts of time but also eliminating the risk of human error. View the Screenshot
- Remote Quarantine: Forest Edition automatically and remotely quarantines corrupt domain controllers so they won’t replicate within the newly restored environment.
- Simultaneous System Recovery: All domain controllers in your domain or forest can be restored simultaneously from one centralized location, eliminating the need to manually interface with each domain controller separately saving a significant amount of time and effort.
- Alignment with Microsoft's Recommended Forest Recovery Process: The Forest Edition recovery process is now even more closely aligned with Microsoft’s native forest recovery approach providing you the option to restore some DCs from backup and others through uninstalling and reinstalling AD with DCPromo.
